The frontman advertised the sale of one of indie’s most significant catalogues in a shockingly cavalier manner. With estranged bandmates among the other stakeholders, legitimate bidders may be hard to findMorrissey puts his business interests in the Smiths up for sale ‘to any interested party’There is a well-trodden line about assessing the trustworthiness of online bargains: if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. It comes to mind when looking at the extremely unusual way in which Morrissey is apparently seeking to offload his business interests in the Smiths. This is not like the forensic and formal processes behind huge catalogue sales in recent years such as Sting, Bob Dylan, Queen, David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, Pink Floyd or Paul Simon.A post on Morrissey Solo – the outlet for all official Morrissey communiques – says the singer has “no choice but to offer for sale all of his business interests in ‘the Smiths’ to any interested party/investor” and that he wants out. ...

Get in touch with an emailDuring finals sign up for our free weekly AFL newsletterLast time they met: Adelaide finally snapped an 11-match winless streak against Collingwood that began with a draw in 2017 and included 10 defeats since then. The Magpies were well on the way to extending their dominance over the Crows as they jumped out to a 25-point lead at the first change. But the Crows turned the tables in the second term and had edged in front by the main break. The ball was largely camped in the Pies’ forward half from there, but the Crows made the most of their opportunities on a soggy night to hold a narrow lead heading into time-on in the final term. A Nick Daicos goal pulled the Pies back to within three points but that was the end of the scoring as the Crows hung on to seal a top-two finish.During finals sign up for our free weekly AFL newsletter Continue r...
